Recovering from all of the holiday events and New Year’s parties that closed out 2019 requires a few things: comfy clothes, a couch, fuzzy blanket and something good to watch. That’s where Netflix comes in.

The beloved streaming service is kicking off the year with a few cool new titles coming this January, including an iconic throwback and a new film from Tyler Perry.

The below titles are just the tip of the iceberg, but here’s what we’ll be watching at the top of the year.

01
The Original Kings of Comedy – Jan. 1
Netflix is delivering the ultimate throwback with The Original Kings of Comedy. The 2000 standup film directed by Spike Lee features the late Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, and D.L. Hughley delivering memorable performances at the Charlotte Coliseum.
